Tilma is an organization responding to the call of the New Evangelization in the world today.

“Let us boldly become citizens of the digital world. The Church needs to be concerned for, and present in, the world of communication, in order to dialogue with people today and to help them encounter Christ. She needs to be a Church at the side of others, capable of accompanying everyone along the way.”

- Pope Francis

Who We Are

Tilma is helping to provide parishes with a great resource to build modern, responsive, beautiful, and effective websites.

Our goal is to unify the Church in the digital world by creating a platform where we can all share resources, build a more connected community, and carry out our mission of evangelization through the use of technology and communication.

We want parishes to be evangelizing to their congregation and greater community, maintaining and growing parish membership and donations, and integrating people into parish life at the deepest level.

This starts with a good website.

What is Tilma

Tilma is an integrated digital website platform. The websites produced are high-performance and high-quality, able to stand out amidst the high cultural standards of the world today when it comes to functional and beautiful web design.

The Tilma platform helps strengthen the connection not only within the parish community but between the parish and the diocese, too. Both local and diocesan specific news can be shared, as well as global Church information. The goal of Tilma is to integrate evangelization into every aspect of parish life.

Ready To Commit?

Tilma is free for each parish to use, but there are time and resources each parish needs to commit to when signing up.

You may have spent money in the last few years to build a new website, but the websites created and maintained through Tilma will be supported by the archdiocese for years to come. This is not a once-off investment of time for your team; rather, it is a long term plan for the archdiocese to be able to support your parish better.

Currently the onboarding process is no cost to your parish but it requires:

Two 15 minute phone calls from the Tilma onboarding team with the parish priest

Two hours of administrative time (priest, secretary, or a designated website person) to set up the website10 minutes with each parish staff member to do staff photos (same day)

Church/personnel availability to open the church to the photo and video team to collect the necessary images and footage to enhance the website

Utilizing digital leaders in the parish to maintain and update the website on a regular basis

This platform has the potential to help evangelize your parish. Are you in?
